Guests say
The Crows Nest in Falmouth, Cornwall, is a well-regarded apartment with stunning views and good proximity to the beach. Guests appreciate the quietness, well-equipped kitchen, and the leisure facilities, including a swimming pool and jacuzzi. While some find the apartment compact and the furniture in need of an update, the overall experience is positive, with many enjoying the balconies and the local walks.
The apartment is generally praised for its cleanliness, with guests describing it as neat, clean, and well-presented. There is a minor mention of sandy floors, but this does not detract significantly from the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is highly valued for its excellent views, proximity to the beach, and the inclusion of leisure facilities. The scenic coastal walks and the quiet environment contribute to the positive feedback. The steep walk back from the beach is noted, but it does not seem to negatively impact the overall experience.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests find the apartment comfortable and the heating controllable, others mention issues with bed sizes and uncomfortable lounge chairs. The main bed's low height is also noted by a tall guest.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the well-fitted kitchen and leisure centre being highlights. However, there are comments about the need for TLC, confusing instructions for access, and a desire for larger frying pans. The maintenance of the remote key fob system and hot water settings are areas for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the property owner in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
